Chapter One: Arguments and Questions
Buttercup's POV
"THAT'S NOT THE POINT!" I yell at Blossom. "THEN WHAT IS BUTTERCUP? PLEASE TELL ME WHAT THE DANM POINT IS!" She yelled back. I knew she was really angry because she rarely cusses. "ARE YOU MY DANM MOTHER BLOSSOM? BECAUSE IF YOU ARE PLEASE TELL ME! LAST TIME I CHECKED YOU WERE MY UP TIGHT BITCHY SISTER!" I yelled not yielding to her. She twitched and I growled. "WHAT DID YOU CALL ME? YOU KNOW WHAT BUTTERCUP? YOU'RE AN EMBARSEMENT TO THIS FAMILY! YOU DON'T THINK, READ, LISTEN OR EVEN CARE ABOUT OTHER PEOPLES' FEELINGS! YOU'RE A DISGRACE AND YOU WON'T AMMOUNT TO ANYTHING! SO JUST GO IN A HOLE DO THE WORLD A FAVORE AND DIE!" She screeched at the top of her lungs. I froze and my eyes widen.
"I-I see…" I say slowly. I can hear the venom and steel tone in my voice. "I understand now Blossom."
Blossom's POV
I smile triumphantly as Buttercup becomes silent. "I-I see…" She says slowly. Realization of what I just told my younger sister dawns on me and my eyes widen. "I understand now Blossom." Her voice had no hint of emotion as her emerald light green eyes dim. I can't find my voice. "I completely understand." She says once again with no emotion. She doesn't say a word as she walks past me and toward the door. "B-Buttercup… w-wait I-I didn't-" I wanted to cry right then a there. The way she looked at me showed pure undeniable sadness. Her dim eyes locked with my rich pink ones. Her short spunky bangs became flat, and her raven black hair that went to her shoulders dimed as well. "Don't say you didn't mean it Blossom because you did. You meant every word you said to me, just like I meant every word I said to you."
"B-but I- I" I stutter. "DON'T LIE BLOSSOM! YOU MEANT IT! YOU MEANT EVERY WORD! YOU WANT ME TO GO IN A HOLE AND DIE!? FINE LEADER GIRL I WILL!" She shouts as she glares at me. Her eyes become dark green full of anger. I lose my voice once again as she opens the door and leaves slamming it behind her. I stand there thinking. 'What have I done?'
Bubbles POV
I sob quietly in the bathroom as I hear Buttercup and Blossom argue. I don't like it when they fight. I never like it when they fight. "DON'T LIE BLOSSOM! YOU MEANT IT! YOU MEANT EVERY WORD! YOU WANT ME TO GO IN A HOLE AND DIE!? FINE LEADER GIRL I WILL!" I hear Buttercup yell as she slams the door to our bed room. I know she glared at Blossom as she said it. I know now that Blossom is silent. Tears fall from my eyes once again. "W-why do they fight s-so much?" I ask myself as more tears fall from my eyes blurring my vision. At first they were arguing over our latest villain Mojo. Blossom began scolding Buttercup as soon as we put him in jail for stealing.
She got mad because Buttercup just busted in beat up Mojo and gave him to us so we can toss him in jail. The minute we got home she started arguing with her. Saying that Mojo could have had weapons and next time we should go in there with a plan. Buttercup growled back saying that she didn't need a plan just to kick his butt. (Well she said ass but I don't like that word.) Then they exalted. It went to school that's when they lost it and began screaming at each other. I sniffle as I wipe my eyes. Blossom took it too far; I know Buttercup said some really hurtful things but wishing death on our own sister? I shake my head. Buttercup took it too far as well. Snaring and calling Blossom names. It's bad enough we get teased at school but calling Blossom names?
I began to cry some more. I guess I will be in here for awhile.
Buttercup's POV
I growl as walk past The Professor and head for the front door. "And where do you think you're going?" A deep voice ask. I roll my eyes. "Out for a walk." I say growling silently. "Watch your tone young lady. It's snowing and it's dark out. Now why do you want to go for a walk?" He asked. I huff. "To clear my head, Blossom and I got into another argument." I say. He frowns walking toward me. "Again? When will you girls get along? I understand that since you are the youngest you feel like you have no say in what goes on in the house and in your life but that's no reason to pick with-" Before he could say anything else I had him by his collar lifting him easily in the air.
"Why?" I asked snaring. He looks at me, clearly confused. "Why are things that go wrong in this hell hole always blamed on me? I know that out of the three of us that I am the least one to participate coming out of my room to have 'Family fun night' but can you blame me? This house sucks! This family sucks! The only person in this house I can talk to is Bubbles and even I know she tolerates me!" I shout as I toss the professor… NO John on the stairs. He landed with a loud thud that shakes the house. In two seconds flat I see Blossom dash down the stairs and check on John. "Professor a-are you ok? You're not hurt are you?" She asks her voice full of worry. "No I'm fine Blossom. Buttercup and I just were having a discussion, which included that she was grounded for two months." He says grunting clearly in pain.
I frown. "Really John? Because as I clearly remember, our discussion was about how much this family- No my bad! How much this city sucks?" I say his name long and hard and he as well as Blossom twitches. "YOUNG LADY! I WILL NOT ACCEPT THIS KIND OF BEHAVIOR! YOU ARE NOT TO GO OUTSIDE OF THIS HOUSE OR SO HELP ME-" He begins to yell but he stops when I snicker. "Or what John? Are you going to stop me?" I ask. Before he could answer I had my coat on and headed for the door. My hand was on the knob before Blossom said something that made me stop dead. "Buttercup… If you leave… don't bother coming back. If you walk out that door you are no longer apart of this family. It's your choice." She hissed.
I chuckled dryly. "I was never in this family. Let alone a part of it… So if you'll excuse me." I open the door letting the cold winter air in, making me shiver. I look at John one more time and walk out making sure I slam the door behind me.
Blossom's POV
I glare at the door as Buttercup slams it shut. How dare she talk to The Professor like that! He has taken care of us since we were created! She has no right to talk to him like that! He is our father! I huff as I help the professor up. He shakes me off and gets up. He looks really pale as well… Maybe Buttercup through him to hard and he broke something! "Professor! You look pale! Are you ok? D-did you break something!" I ask franticly. He does not answer as he walks toward the door weakly. I look at him confused as to what he is doing. I shiver as he opens the door and begins to walk out. "PROFESSOR! WHAT ARE YOU DOING? YOU WILL GET SICK OR MAYBE EVEN FROSTBITE!" I yell as I quickly grab him and close the door. He looks really pale! He just opens the door again. "BUTTERCUP! BUTTERCUP! PLEASE COME BACK! PLEASE YOU-YOU CAN'T BE OUT THERE ALONE! THEY….They…" He begins to shout standing on the porch the door wide open letting all the cold air in once again.
He begins to walk off calling her name over and over again. Not caring if he has a coat on or not. It seems like he won't listen to me. I quickly grab my coat and his and dash to his side. "Professor at least put your coat on. You could get sick." I say offering his coat to him but he does not take it. He just keeps looking for her franticly like someone or something is after her. After about six hours he heads back into the house, looking franticly every now and again. The second we enter the house he begins to curse angrily shocking me. "Professor… Professor it will be ok! I mean this is Buttercup! Y-you and I both know she will be back before long after she clears her head. I mean she has done this before." I trying to reassure him but it sounded like I was trying to reassure myself instead.
It's completely silent and I can hear Bubbles silently cry on the steps. I forgot about her. I didn't think she was there when I told Buttercup if she leaves don't come back. She was there… the whole time… watching… crying. I frown. I completely forgot about my other sister and how this would affect her. "What…" The professor says. It feels like hours before he said something. "What did you say Professor?" I ask. His hands turn into fist and he rounds on me. "WHAT DID YOU DO? WHAT DID YOU DO?" He yells. I cower under his glaze. "I-I don't understand… I was just-" I try to defend my actions but they fall on deaf ears. "DO YOU UNDERTSTAND THE CONSEQUENCES OF YOUR ACTIONS! YOU WONT BE HARMED! SHE WILL! THEY…THEY WILL TAKE HER AWAY! ALL THAT WORK! THOSE FAKE MEMOIRES! THAT HIDDEN BODY ALONG WITH HER SOUL! THOSES EYES- THAT LOCK! THE GOVERNMENT WILL BE AT MY DOOR BY NOON TOMORROW!" He yells at me. I flinch.
"I-I don't understand professor…" I say weakly as my eyes water. He looks at me and smiles weakly. "I know…. You know what… just get to bed... we will look for her tomorrow. Sorry for yelling it's just… Just please go to bed."He sighs and I nod as I go up the stairs take Bubbles hand and get ready for bed.
After I finally get Bubbles to calm and go to bed I run in the bathroom. I wipe my tear stained face and pull out the pen and notebook I have in the cabinet. The professor never yelled at me like that before. Never… why now? I ask myself as I write down my questions in the note book. "Who is after Buttercup? Why and what's this talk about the government? Hidden bodies? Locks fake memoires?" I shake my head as I write in big bold letters:
WHAT IS THE PROFESSOR HIDDING? WHO OR WHAT MAKES BUTTERCUP SO SPECAIL THAT THE GOVERNMENT HAS TO GET INVOLED? WHAT BODIES IS THE PROFESSOR HIDDING? FAKE MEMORIES? LOCKS?
I huff as I put one more sentence on the paper: DO I REALLY WANT TO KNOW? OR AM I SCARED OF THE ANSWER?
I wipe my eyes one more time take the note book hid it and get in bed. I have a lot of research to do tomorrow.
